I do not know what else to do.  My son is 5 years and 5 months old, and is due to start Kindergarden on Sept 7th.  Both my wife and I work, and Grandpa babysits him.  On the 3rd of August, I took off work.  For the first 4 days, we stayed inside, with no pants.  No accidents, not one...  He got a litt hotwheels car for each poop, which is mostly the problem.  After that, we stayed inside, with clothing, and did not have an accident for a few more days... When he did, I was not hard on him at all.  over the next few weeks, he is having accidents more often. We even took him on train ride to celebrate... As of the 24th, his grandpa took back over babysitting...  I just can't stay home the rest of my life....  Now, he almost will not go in the potty to save my life..  I ask and ask and so on..  Now, no matter if he is wating him, or we are home on evening or weekend, he almost will not go in the room..  Accidents all the time.  We actually had accident free Sunday but he had an accident first thing this morning right after we left for work..   When do I start punishing???  Should I??? only 7 days till school starts.. Help please..

Hi there!  So sorry you didn't get a response before your son went to kindergarten.  How are things going?

At that age I would definitely ask his doctor what you should do.  I'm actually surprised they would let him start school if he wasn't trained yet.

Please let us know how it's going!
